Supporting an Active Life in South Side

South Side is an active, family‑friendly community with a neighborly feel. It is home to Lehigh Parkway, the largest park in Allentown with 629 acres of walking and biking trails, historic covered bridges, and fishing spots along the Little Lehigh Creek. Residents also enjoy Trout Creek Park and the Mack Trucks Historical Museum, which celebrates the area’s rich industrial heritage. Our caregivers help seniors stay part of this vibrant community. 

We accompany loved ones on peaceful strolls through Lehigh Parkway, assist with errands along South Fourth Street, and provide transportation to local restaurants and community events. Whether it’s feeding the fish at Lil’ Le‑Hi Trout Nursery, enjoying a concert, or simply walking through the neighborhood’s charming, tree‑lined streets, we make sure your loved one stays connected to the South Side they call home

How It Works

Getting started is simple – and we’re with you at every step.

Step 1 — Free Home Assessment:

We visit your loved one’s home, meet your family, and listen. We want to know their routines, preferences, and the specific help they need. No pressure. No cost.

Step 2 — Matched to the Right Caregiver:

We choose a caregiver based on personality, experience, and the type of help needed. We keep the same person whenever possible – so your loved one sees a familiar, trusted face.

Step 3 — Care Begins on Your Terms:

Care starts when you’re ready – a few hours a week, overnight, or full days. You decide the schedule. You stay in control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Would caregiver take my parent on walks outside?

Yes. Getting outside is part of companionship care. Whether it is a stroll along Lehigh Parkway’s trails, a visit to Trout Creek Park, or feeding the fish at the Lil’-Le-Hi Trout Nursery, caregivers help your loved one stay active in the neighborhood they know and love.

It is built around routine and calm redirection rather than argument. Caregivers use familiar activities like old photos and favorite music to keep clients engaged. They watch for behavior changes like agitation or sundowning. They adjust their approach without restraint or confrontation. The goal is peace and safety.

That is the goal. We match caregivers based on personality and experience. We keep the same person on the case whenever possible. That way your parent sees a familiar face instead of a rotating cast of strangers. Consistency builds trust and comfort.

No contracts. You can start with as little as a few hours a week. You can scale up to overnight care, full days, or 24/7 support as your family’s needs change. You stay in control of the schedule and the level of help you receive.

It can. Community HealthChoices is Pennsylvania’s Medicaid managed-care program. It covers personal and companion-style care at home for eligible seniors and adults with disabilities. Eligibility depends on income, assets, and care needs. The Lehigh County Area Agency on Aging can help you check where your loved one stands.
